Rain

We were going to make this a wet weather challenge, but wet weather requires paid mods. Please let us know if you’re happy for that. We will write up a guide for this if we have a wet challenge.

    That’s a fair enough opinion, as a developer of various crap and even more specifically specific ECU tunes used for performance events etc…I’m a bit opposite in I find it slightly annoying companies and people want to keep everything close to themselves and not share anything.

    Especially if it doesn’t impact them if it’s being used on another one of their own products. But that’s just my stance.

    I can see both viewpoints as equally valid.

    As for the car suggestions I’m just GT3’d out, that’s all sim racing has been for the past few years hah! But I’ll drive what the people vote for regardless!

      Fair enough, I can def see where those who take mods from anywhere come from. I just hope these challenges won’t rely on it too much.

          One idea is to use a common GT3 car. Such as the Audi R8 LMS 2016. it’s in AC, ACC and iR. The track is paid content in both ACC and iR, so there chances of people here having it is good, though the iR version of the R8 is a bit stronger.

          Alternatively. RSS Formula 3 V6, it has a very similar power/weight ratio to the IndyPro PM-18 in iRacing.

      Yeah, I suggested an open wheeler as I’ve done nowt but GT3 for the last few months too. If other people suggest them and it gets voted for, then I’ll race it for sure!
